[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's really no good way for you to "share" it, except to sell it and divide the proceeds.   Then the property will no longer be in the family.   If there are two properties, and two kids--then each kid gets a property.   That makes the most sense.

You say the property your sister is "larger" but is it "better?"   Worth more?  [/quote]

It's been shared for almost 100 years. Neither sibling needs the money. [b]My preference would be to keep in family and pass both down to next generation.[/b][/quote]

How?  If you have kids, and your sister has kids...that's multiple people.   Then if your kids/nieces and nephews have kids, that's even MORE people.[/quote]

And more to the point, your preference is simply irrelevant.  The property is not yours. And the person who owns the property has every right to decide what to do with it. You really seem to think that you have some right to this property, even after raising it with your father.  Nobody has any right to anyone else’s property. Regardless of how long it has been in a family line. Your father could sell it all and give the proceeds to charity.  With an ion gratitude, consider just being thankful that you had a place to make these sentimental memories. Be thankful that your father is not selling them and using the money for something else, and that you and your sister will each have one of them to enjoy with your families.  It seems that you have a clear view of your father‘s wishes since you have already spoken with him about it. Respect those wishes as to what he wants to do with what belongs to him.[/quote]

OP here--it was my father who brought it up and said what he wanted to do. [/quote]

That is exactly my point. Your father has told you what he wants to do with his property. He is telling you in advance The decision that he has made about what he is going to do with his property. And your specific request is how in the future you will be able to challenge as well. On what basis do you think you would challenge it? Not only will there be a document reflecting his wishes, but he has told you exactly what he wants to do and there is no lack of clarity.  as to who raised what during the conversation, it really isn’t relevant. I thought you had said in one of the earlier posts, though, that your father had wondered why you had brought it up or didn’t understand why you had brought it up. Perhaps that wasn’t you though.  in any event, if you did not persuade your father to change his mind, why the heck would you think that you could force a court to go against his wishes after his death?[/quote]
